Modules are not members of BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM, so we cannot use this
as a proxy for membership in the connectivity or ratsnest calculations.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5140
Another static cast was left. changed now to dyn_cast
We need to be careful in the connectivity system to always use
dyn_cast/dynamic_cast and check the return when dealing with board
items.

We need to be careful in the connectivity system to always use
dyn_cast/dynamic_cast and check the return when dealing with board
items. Getting non-connected items will result in null nets when
propagated.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5082
(cherry picked from commit 406de56964)
- Added ignore netcode option to CONNECTIVITY_DATA::GetConnectedItems()
- PlaceModule() now ensures the module added to the board (and thus to the connectivity database) has correct bounding box necessary for R-trees to work
- Use recursive connected pad search so that the new net is propagated to all pads

It is possible for an async thread to simply be deferred if not
specifically set to async. In which case, until the return value is
requested, the loop may simply wait.
This minimizes the thread usage, particularly during online actions such
as moving items and routing.
UpdateRatsnest: Minimized the number of atomics by utilizing future
promise. Avoided updating node-less nets. Node-less nets are common in
the dynamic ratsnest because the net vector is created from the board
nets by value but only populated with a subset. So the dynamic ratsnest
calculation always saw every net as dirty and spun up extra threads.
searchConnections: ParallelThreadCount is no longer lower bounded.
Small item counts are handled inline rather than with a separate thread.
Some windows machines seem prone to sleeping for excessive times. When
called in the main thread, this may prevent the system from responding
to Windows 'Are you alive?' calls.
Rather than forcing each thread to iterate over the full nets list to
find the dirty items, we collect the dirty items first before asking the
threads to address them. This prevents thread spinning. We also
amortize the cost of calculating on an 8-net per thread basis rather
than 2.
